This study is planned to investigate the effectiveness of EMG, RESP, and TEMP Biofeedback Training to reduce symptoms of anxiety among the nursing students from one school, and to determine whether biofeedback training is associated to relax the minds and bodies of the anxious nursing students to cope with the distressing situation. Study subjects meeting the eligibility criteria will be randomized into two groups using randomly generated numbers: the Biofeedback training group and Control group. Biofeedback training will be used as an intervention vs the control. All the study subjects providing the consent to participate will be made to complete the study questionnaires (Demographic, Screening for Anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory -STAI) at baseline and at post-intervention (after 4 weeks).
The research is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to determine the effect of prenatal genetic counseling service on the anxiety levels and attitudes of pregnant women towards prenatal diagnostic tests and the relationship between these two parameters. Hypotheses of the Research: Three different sets of hypotheses were established for the research. First Hypothesis Set; H0: Prenatal genetic counseling service; It has no effect on the anxiety levels experienced by pregnant women. H1: Prenatal genetic counseling service; have an effect on the anxiety levels experienced by pregnant women. Second Hypothesis Set; H0: Prenatal genetic counseling service; It has no effect on the attitudes of pregnant women towards screening and diagnostic tests. H1: Prenatal genetic counseling service; It has an effect on the attitudes of pregnant women towards screening and diagnostic tests. Third Hypothesis Set; H0: There is no relationship between the anxiety experienced by pregnant women and their attitudes towards screening and diagnostic tests. H1: There is a relationship between the anxiety experienced by pregnant women and their attitudes towards screening and diagnostic tests.
Head and neck cancers are a source of complications and after-effects related to the disease and treatment. These cancers and their treatment alter the quality of life of patients and generate pain with physical and psychological components. Chronic pain affects 36% of patients at 6 months and 30% after this period. These pains are responsible for the consumption of level II and III analgesics in 53% of these patients. At the same time, after the end of treatment, nearly a quarter of patients continued to smoke and half still consumed alcohol at least twice a week. The hypothesis of this research is to investigate the correlation between pain and the continuation of addictions, the occurrence of depressive states, asthenia and the alteration of the patients' global quality of life. The investigators propose a two-center prospective cohort study to evaluate this hypothesis at 6 months after radiotherapy treatment. This study is planned to include 120 patients with a first head and neck cancer whit radiotherapy as part of their treatment sequence. The expected duration of inclusion is 18 months. The identification of factors affecting survival, quality of life and patient compliance is essential to determine appropriate management, particularly by creating appropriate therapeutic education programs.
Anxiety disorders are the most common form of psychopathology, and frequently begin in childhood, resulting in lifelong impairment. Increased brain activity after making mistakes, as reflected by the error-related negativity (ERN), is observed in people with anxiety disorders, even before disorder onset. The ERN is therefore of great interest as a potentially modifiable risk factor for anxiety. However, methodological issues can make the ERN difficult to measure. Increased brain activity in response to a balance disturbance, as reflected by the balance N1, resembles the ERN, but does not share its methodological issues. The investigators' preliminary data demonstrate that the balance N1 and the ERN are associated in amplitude in adults, suggesting they may depend on the same brain processes. The balance N1 has never been investigated in individuals with anxiety disorders, but it increases in amplitude within individuals under anxiety-inducing environmental contexts. Further, balance and anxiety are related in terms of brain anatomy, daily behavior, disorder presentation, and response to treatment. The present investigation will measure the ERN and the balance N1 in children (ages 9-12) with anxiety disorders, and further, how these brain activity measures change in response to a brief, 45-minute, computerized psychosocial intervention that was developed to reduce reactivity to errors, and has been shown to reduce the ERN. The investigators will recruit approximately 80 children with anxiety disorders, half of whom will be randomly assigned to the active intervention condition. The other half will be assigned to an active control condition, consisting of a different 45-minute computerized presentation. Participants assigned to the control condition can access the computerized intervention after participation in the study. The purpose of this investigation is to test the hypothesis that the balance N1 and the ERN will be reduced to a similar extent after the intervention, to demonstrate that these brain responses arise from shared brain processes. Transfer of the effect of the psycho-social intervention to the balance N1 would provide insight into prior work demonstrating that balance training can alleviate anxiety in young children, and well-documented benefits of psychotherapy to balance disorders. Collectively, these data may guide the development of multidisciplinary interventions for the prevention and treatment of anxiety disorders in children.
This study aims to determine if removing supracondylar pins immediately following cast removal and prior to X-ray decreases patient and parent/guardian anxiety compared to pin removal following cast removal and X-ray. The research team hypothesizes that patient anxiety response will be lower when pins are removed immediately following cast removal compared to our current standard of care. Secondarily, this study will determine if there is an association between patient anxiety response and their parent's/guardian's anxiety.
Preoperative anxiety is considered a potential and preventable risk factor for postoperative complications.
Patients with dental anxiety only develop anxiety and fear about dental treatments. Patients with severe dental anxiety have difficulty cooperating with dental treatments, and can only complete dental treatments through general anesthesia, or even abandon treatments. Dexmedetomidine is a potent, highly selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist, which provides good anxiolytic, sedative and analgesic effects and is commonly used in anesthesiology and intensive care medicine departments, routinely intravenously. In recent years, intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine has also been reported for pediatric dentistry and adult alveolar surgery, showing good sedative and analgesic effects. However, these studies have problems such as single surgical types, small sample size, and few indicators analyzed. Therefore, the evaluation of intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine is still not comprehensive enough. Besides, the anxiolytic effect of dexmedetomidine for dental anxiety has not been reported yet. This project plans to carry out a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, two-stage clinical trial. We will firstly explore a reasonable dose, and secondly verify it with placebo as the control. We plan to measure the object indicators, including the NTI value, plasma cortisol, interleukin-6, blood pressure and heart rate, and to assess the subjective indicators using scales and questionnaires, thus comprehensively evaluating the effectiveness, safety and feasibility of the anxiolytic effect of intranasal dexmedetomidine for severe dental anxious patients, and preliminary exploring its mechanism additionally. We intend to help severe dental anxious patients completing dental treatments.
Outpatient surgical interventions; It is defined as surgical applications where the application time is short, the risk of complications is low, there is no need for intensive care after the intervention, and the patients can be discharged on the same day. It is applied in areas such as otolaryngology and maxillofacial surgery. Among all these areas, gynecological surgery is the area where the most outpatient surgery is performed. Some of the gynecological procedures that are generally applied in day surgery are as follows; Colposcopy, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, dilatation-curettage, laparoscopic tubal ligation, treatment of the cervix with cautery or laser, removal of vulvar cysts, laser conization, cervical polypectomy and removal of Bartholin cysts. In many state hospitals in our country, in daily gynecological surgical procedures; in some cases by premedication, in some cases under local anesthesia; however, patients are usually processed without anesthesia. Virtual Reality, which is a type of computer system using human-machine interfaces, has been used in pain and anxiety management in different applications in many areas known as painful medical procedures in recent years. Music therapy is defined as "the systematic use of music in a therapeutic relationship aimed at improving, maintaining and advancing emotional, physical and mental health". Music therapy has important physiological effects that reduce heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and respiratory rate, distract attention, increase the quality of life of patients, and reduce pain. Stress ball emerges as a simple, reliable, inexpensive, and easily accessible method that helps patients reduce their anxiety. Squeezing the stress ball during the surgical procedure allows patients to have direct control over the object, increasing feelings of empowerment. In this way, it has a positive effect on anxiety and patient satisfaction without interfering with the surgical procedure. Based on all these reasons; The aim of this study is to determine the effects of virtual reality, music therapy, and stress ball applications on vital signs, pain, anxiety, and patient satisfaction during daily gynecological surgery.
Mindfulness; It is the state of paying attention and being aware of what is happening right now. Mindfulness, includes noticing what is happening in the present moment and the way of meeting all that is noticed. The research will be conducted in a randomized controlled manner in order to determine the Effect of MBSR (Conscious Awareness Based Stress Reduction) Program on Anxiety, Work Related Emotional Burnout and Job Satisfaction in midwives. Data will be collected from midwives working at Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Gynecology and Childhood Hospital between September 1 and December 30, 2022. Midwives who agree to participate in the study and meet the criteria will be sent and asked to fill in web-based online questionnaires (Whatsapp) prepared by the researchers through Google Forms. As a pre-test, "Descriptive Information Form", "Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI)", "Work-Related Emotional Burnout Scale" and "Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale (MSQ) Short Form" will be administered to midwives in the experimental and control groups. After the stress reduction program based on mindfulness was applied online by the researcher to the experimental group, 2 sessions a week for 4 weeks (1 month), a total of 8 sessions; Post-test data will be obtained by re-applying the "Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS)", "Work-Related Emotional Burnout Scale" and "Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale (MSQ) Short Form" scale to the experimental group and simultaneously to the control group. The universe of the research will be composed of midwives working at Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Gynecology and Childhood Hospital on the relevant dates. The minimum number of individuals to be included in the sample of the study was determined by power analysis. Sample size when power analysis is done; Assuming that the method applied with 5% error level, bidirectional significance level, 95% confidence interval and 80% ability to represent the universe, would reduce the anxiety score averages (8.20±8.64) by 6 points, a total of 66 midwives (33 experimental, 33 control) calculated. A total of 80 midwives (40 experimental, 40 control) are planned to be included in the study, taking into account possible case losses (approximately 20%).
